Capt Wally,
now the real reason for all the "U" trun shaped contrails or bent ones was the fact that the earth rotates (obviously) and what appears to be bent is in actual fact a straight line...
Not sure if you are taking the piss or not Captain.
I have no doubt that the phenomenon you described may be accurate, however you have not described what I saw. I even have the proof on my mobile phone, but I can't transfer them to my computer in order to post them here, the bluetooth on my phone and computer is refusing to pair up and make a connection. After an hour of trying yesterday I gave up in disgust!
I had thought that describing the contrails as U shaped - in honour of the U-turn - was a good idea, maybe I was wrong. The contrails were very long, over the horizon in fact, and then had a relatively tight turn back in the direction they originated from, perhaps like a J in my photos.
In any case, what prompted me to start this thread has nothing to do with the curvature of the earth.
Cheers.
